Which part of the Fallopian tube is most freqeuently associated with ectopic pregnancies?

Ampulla

Select the correct statement:
In the female, the external urethral sphincter…

is innervated by the pudendal nerve

is under involuntary control

is a modified portion of the pelvic diaphragm

completely surrounds the urethra

Is innervated by the pudendal nerve

Select the INCORRECT answer.

The Fallopian tube …

is narrowest at the isthmus

is developed from the mesonephric duct

receives blood from both ovarian and uterine arteries

is about 10cm long in the adult

Is developed from the mesonephric duct

(They develop from the paramesonephric ducts)

Fertilization occurs in which part of the Fallopian tube?

Ampulla

During a hysterosalpingogram (injection of radiopaque substance into the uterus), contrast medium is seen in the peritoneum. Hysterosalpingogram can demonstrate all these statements, EXCEPT

that the Fallopian tubes are patent
the presence of intrauterine anomalies
the potential of infection to spread from the vagina to the peritoneal cavity
that the paramesonephric ducts failed to form properly
the presence of ovarian cysts

The presence of ovarian cysts

The internal os of the uterus marks the junction of the…

body and cervix of uterus

The following statements regarding the labia majora are correct, EXCEPT:

They form the lateral boundaries of the vulval cleft.

They are homologues of the scrotum.

They contain sebaceous and sweat glands embedded in adipose tissue.

Anteriorly, they divide in to two parts, one passing over the clitoris to form the prepuce.

They have hair growing on the outer, but not inner surface.

Anteriorly, they divide in to two parts, one passing over the clitoris to form the prepuce.

(The prepuce of the clitoris is formed by the labia minora, not labia majora.)

The lateral fornix of the vagina is most closely related to the

urethra

middle rectal artery

uterine artery

ureter

round ligament of the uterus

Ureter

The following statements are correct, EXCEPT:

The ovarian arteries originate from the renal arteries.

The right ovarian vein drains directly into the inferior vena cava.

The left ovarian vein drains direclty into the left renal vein.

The ovarian vessels pass between the folds of the broad ligament.

The ovarian arteries also supply the Fallopian tubes.

The ovarian arteries originate from the renal arteries.

(They originate from the aorta)

The levator ani is formed by several muscles; pubococcygeus, (ischio-) coccygeus and muscle F. Identify muscle F.

iliococcygeus

All the following statements are correct, EXCEPT: The female pelvis differs from the male by having a pelvic inlet which is oval rather than heart shaped. having a larger pelvic outlet. having a narrower pubic arch. having an oval obturator foramen.

Having a narrower pubic arch (it is wider in females).

Which on one of these statements is correct? the anus is between the the vaginal orifice and the urethra the urethra is more ventral of the two orifices in the vulva the vaginal orifice is the most dorsal of the three openings in the perineum the urethra is between the anus and the vaginal orifice

The urethra is more ventral of the two orifices in the vulva. (The urethra and the vagina are the two openings in the vulva (the external genital organs or pudendum).)

The following statements regarding the ovaries are correct, EXCEPT they are attached to the posterior leaf of the broad ligaments of the uterus. they lie on the side wall of the pelvis in the angle between the internal and external iliac arteries. they receive their blood supply from the internal iliac arteries. they develop from the intermediate mesoderm in the embryo.

They receive their blood supply from the internal iliac arteries. (It comes from the ovarian arteries)

The posterior fornix of the vagina is related to the rectouterine pouch. True or false?

True

All the following statements are correct, EXCEPT: The blood supply to the uterus is from both the ovarian and uterine arteries. The ureter is susceptible to damage during a procedure for hysterectomy as it passes just over the uterine artery. The uterine artery is derived from the internal iliac artery. The vaginal artery is derived from the uterine artery.

The ureter is susceptible to damage during a procedure for hysterectomy as it passes just over the uterine artery. (water under the bridge)

Select the INCORRECT statement. Concerning the vagina its anterior wall is shorter than the posterior wall its posterior fornix is deeper than the anterior fornix its posterior wall is completely covered with peritoneum the urethra is embedded in its anterior wall

Its posterior wall is completely covered with peritoneum. (Only upper quarter covered by peritoneum (Pouch of Douglas).)

The lymphatic drainage of the lower one third of the vagina is to the.......

superficial inguinal nodes

The vesicouterine pouch is known as the Pouch of Douglas. True or false?

False
